Cosmological observations show that the universe is very uniform on the maximally large scale accessible to our telescopes, and the same laws of physics operate in all of its parts that we can see now. The best theoretical explanation of the uniformity of our world was provided by inflationary theory, which was proposed 30 years ago.

Figure 3:Left: BICEP2 apodized E-mode and B-mode maps filtered to 50 < ℓ < 120. Right: The equivalent maps for the first of the lensed-ΛCDM+noise simulations. The color scale displays the E-mode scalar and B-mode
pseudoscalar patterns while the lines display the equivalent magnitude
and orientation of the linear polarization. Note that excess B-mode is detected over lensing+noise with high signal-to-noise ratio in the map (s/n > 2 per map mode at ℓ ≈ 70). (Also note that the E-mode and B-mode maps use different color/length scales.)

You know the distinctions on how one might see information as purported to exist as gravitational waves of course held my perspective. Like others, is this a way in which BICEP has illustrated something of the every nature of space-time, as to my thoughts then, when it really was only about seeing a footprint in the WMAP.

Gravitational waves open up a new window on the universe
that will allow us to probe events for which no electromagnetic
signature exists. In the next few years, the ground-based
interferometers GEO-600, LIGO, VIRGO and TAMA should be able to detect
the high-frequency gravitational waves produced by extreme astrophysical
objects, providing the first direct detection of these disturbances in
space–time. With its much longer arm lengths, the space-based
interferometer LISA will, if launched, be able to detect lower-frequency
gravitational waves, possibly those generated by phase transitions in
the early universe. At even lower frequencies, other experiments will
look for tiny signatures of gravitational waves in the cosmic microwave
background. Source: NASA.

So it is a footprint then and I might show some of those maps and ask what do these footprints show in the early universe as to say, that given the inflationary timeline what can be garnered about looking back so far as to suggest 13.8 billion years and have such an imprint hold relevance, and equal the very nature of space-time itself.

The nature of the question for me is a "sensor mode developmental model" that chooses to exemplify gravitational waves over another and I had to make this clear for myself. So you can see where this has lead me. To where I want to further understand. If you choose not to show a comment then I guess that is where I lose.

The analogy rests with how the nature of gravitational waves had been sounded so as to show a connection to the WMAP as a footprint. So you have this 2 dimensional map surface as to exemplary how gravitational waves may appear on it, yet, the visual extent of that correlation is representative to me of a defined configuration space. You need your physics in order to establish any correlation to the timeline of the inflationary model and to see that such a map reveals efforts to penetrate the Planck era. To suggest quantum gravity.

So indeed to have such a map is very telling to me not just of the imprint but also of the sensory mode we had chosen to illustrate that map of the B mode representation as a valid model description of that early universe.

In
2003 the WMAP craft measured the very small fluctuations – about one
part in 100,000 – in the temperature of the cosmic background radiation
(coloured regions). These fluctuations, which are in excellent agreement
with the predictions of Big Bang theory, originated during inflation
and evolved under the influence of both gravity and the pressure of the
matter–radiation plasma before particles in the plasma recombined to
form hydrogen atoms. Buried in this pattern might also be fluctuations
from primordial gravitational waves, but to tease out their signature
researchers have to map in detail the polarization of the photons as
well as their temperature (white lines represent the electric
polarization vector). Since gravitational waves produce a quadrupolar
anisotropy and therefore induce polarization without an associated
temperature fluctuation, they (and only they) are able to generate a
polarization pattern that cannot be expressed as the gradient of a
scalar. Source: NASA. See: Sounding out the Big Bang

Cosmic searches at the South Pole. The BICEP-2
Telescope is the up-facing dish at right. The larger white dish is the
South Pole Telescope (SPT), and the building is the Dark Sector
Laboratory. Both experiments observe in the millimeter-submillimeter
part of the spectrum, mapping polarization patterns in the cosmic
background radiation.

The BICEP result, if correct, is a spectacular and historic discovery.
In terms of impact on fundamental physics, particularly as a tool for
testing ideas about quantum gravity, the detection of primordial
gravitational waves is completely unprecedented. Inflation evidently
occurred just two orders of magnitude below the Planck scale, and we
have now seen the quantum fluctuations of the graviton. For those who
want to understand how the universe began, and also for those who want
to understand quantum gravity, it just doesn't get any better than this.

In fact, it all seems far too good to be true. And perhaps it is: check
back after another experimental team is able to check the BICEP
findings, and then we can really break out the champagne.

Here's the thing for those blog followers who are interested in the application of sound as a visual representation of an external world of senses.

In this example I’m going to map speed to the pitch of the note, length/postion to the duration of the note and number of turns/legs/puffs to the loudness of the note.See: How to make sound out of anything.

I have my reasons for looking at the trail that began with Gravitational wave research and development. If we are accustom to seeing and concreting all that reality has for us, can a question be raised in mind with how one has been shocked by an anomaly?

I am not asking for anyone to abandon their views on the science of, just respect that while not following the rules of science here as to my motivational underpinnings, I have asked if science can see gravity in ways that have not be thought of before. This is not to counter anything that has been done before.

The historic approach to Gravitational Research was important as well, to trace it back to it's beginning.

Can we use such measures to exemplify an understanding of the world we live according to a qualitative approach? This has occupied my thoughts back to when I first blogged about JosephWeber in 2005. Here is a 2000 article linked.

In the late 1950s, Weber became intrigued by the relationship between gravitational theory and laboratory experiments. His book, General Relativity and Gravitational Radiation, was published in 1961, and his paper describing how to build a gravitational wave detector first appeared in 1969. Weber's first detector consisted of a freely suspended aluminium cylinder weighing a few tonnes. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Weber announced that he had recorded simultaneous oscillations in detectors 1000 km apart, waves he believed originated from an astrophysical event. Many physicists were sceptical about the results, but these early experiments initiated research into gravitational waves that is still ongoing. Current gravitational wave experiments, such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) and Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), are descendants of Weber's original work.

Nanotechnology miniaturizes normal objects, in this case a guitar. It can be used to create tiny cameras, scales and listening devices. An example of this is smart dust, which can be either a camera or a listening device smaller than a grain of sand.[3] A nanometer is one-billionth of a meter. For comparison, a human hair is about 200,000 nanometers thick. The nano guitar is about as long as one-twentieth of the diameter of a human hair, 10 micrometers or 10,000 nanometers long. The six strings are 50 nanometers wide each. The entire guitar is the size of an average red blood cell. The guitar is carved from a grain of crystalline silicon by scanning a laser
over a film called a 'resist'. This technique is called Electrobeam
Lithography. It can be played by tiny lasers in an atomic force microscope,
and these act as the pick. The Nano Guitar is 17 octaves higher than a
normal guitar. Even if its sound were amplified, it could not be
detected by the human ear.[4]

Cornell University researchers already have been able to
detect the mass of a single cell using submicroscopic devices. Now
they're zeroing in on viruses. And the scale of their work is becoming
so indescribably small that they have moved beyond the prefixes "nano"
"pico" and "femto" to "atto." And just in sight is "zepto."

Members
of the Cornell research group headed by engineering professor Harold
Craighead report they have used tiny oscillating cantilevers to detect
masses as small as 6 attograms by noting the change an added mass
produces in the frequency of vibration.

Their
submicroscopic devices, whose size is measured in nanometers (the width
of three silicon atoms), are called nanoelectromechanical systems, or
NEMS. But the masses they measure are now down to attograms. The mass
of a small virus, for example, is about 10 attograms. An attogram is
one-thousandth of a femtogram, which is one-thousandth of a picogram,
which is one-thousandth of a nanogram, which is a billionth of a gram.‘Nano’ Becomes ‘Atto’ and Will Soon Be ‘Zepto’ for Cornell - New Technology

It is important that people understand that I hold no credentials in terms of physiology or credentials as a scientist. This is purely from a layman subjective questionings, as to the viability of what helps to produce effective layering of consciousness's abilities to explore.

The sensation of binaural beats is believed to originate in the superior olivary nucleus, a part of the brain stem.
They appear to be related to the brain's ability to locate the sources
of sounds in three dimensions and to track moving sounds, which also
involves inferior colliculus (IC) neurons.[17]
Regarding entrainment, the study of rhythmicity provides insights into
the understanding of temporal information processing in the human brain.
Auditory rhythms rapidly entrain motor responses into stable steady
synchronization states below and above conscious perception thresholds.
Activated regions include primary sensorimotor and cingulate areas,
bilateral opercular premotor areas, bilateral SII, ventral prefrontal
cortex, and, subcortically, anterior insula, putamen, and thalamus.
Within the cerebellum, vermal regions and anterior hemispheres
ipsilateral to the movement became significantly activated. Tracking
temporal modulations additionally activated predominantly right
prefrontal, anterior cingulate, and intraparietal regions as well as
posterior cerebellar hemispheres.[18]
A study of aphasic subjects who had a severe stroke versus normal
subjects showed that the aphasic subject could not hear the binaural
beats whereas the normal subjects could.[19]

It is healthy to retain some skepticism as a method for sounding the process for discovery about truth in the quest for what affects can be established. So while retaining these questions in mind, the effect of what can be gained from the idea of Binaural beat as a tool for development of consciousness is an important one to me.

I am of course drawn to those comments that deal directly with the explanations of science and physiology .

Studies have shown a neurological basis of binaural beats perception
which have assisted in identifying subcortical regions associated with
processing phase differences between sounds. These have been found to be
generated by neurons in the inferior colliculus, auditory cortex [15], [16] and the medial olivary nucleus, all of which are thought to be involved in processing and integration of auditory stimuli [17]. The effect of binaural beats on psychological and biological aspects however has been somewhat less clear.

A final consideration is the use of pink noise, overlaid music or sound, to generate some sort of effect. One study [33] compared music with an embedded binaural beat to music without one and generated a significant decrease in pain medication both during and after an operation, however the study was not controlled as participants were allowed to choose their own music. Also, other studies using pink noise [8], [18] have not detected entrainment, but have found psychological changes previously discussed. Comparing pink noise with a binaural beat, without and a control and subsequent effects on electrophysiological and psychological factors may be of interest.

In conclusion, this study aimed to examine if binaural beats were able to alter psychological processes and entrain cortical frequencies. Furthermore it aimed to examine if personality traits modulated entrainment. No statistically significant changes or relationships were detected between binaural beat stimulation at Beta and Theta frequencies and white noise control conditions in any personality trait, the vigilance task or EEG power spectra analysis. These results suggest that relatively short presentation steady state binaural beat stimulation at Beta and Theta frequencies are insufficient to generate entrainment and in turn this lack of entrainment does not seem to be related to personality traits.Additionally it appears that short presentation stimulation of binaural beats is ineffective at altering vigilance.A High-Density EEG Investigation into Steady State Binaural Beat Stimulation

OBJECTIVE:

Brainwave entrainment (BWE), which uses rhythmic
stimuli to alter brainwave frequency and thus brain states, has been
investigated and used since the late 1800s, yet many clinicians and
scientists are unaware of its existence. We aim to raise awareness and
discuss its potential by presenting a systematic review of the
literature from peer-reviewed journals on the psychological effects of
BWE.A comprehensive review of the psychological effects of brainwave entrainment.

There might have been some confusion around what was implied here with regard to BB's(Binaural Beats) and the affective causation suggested by what I see as inherent on a global level with regard to consciousness.I wrote," While it is of
biological significance the BB's are in question here as one might
wonder about schumann response on a global level. "

I mentioned "the principal" as to imply historical content as to the idea of resource management attributions when it came to the realization that capital could be induced by fragmentation and allotting packets. These as salable items to the general public. This application, is the basis of some of my complaints about what was already inherent and free in society. It only became a product once it was thought to being compartmentalize.

With wireless power, efficiency is the more significant parameter. A
large part of the energy sent out by the generating plant must arrive at
the receiver or receivers to make the system economical

In this sense, electrical generation, other then use of wire transmission, was at the time, the only means as to the metering capable of being sold as a packet.

PURPOSE: To show the two-dimensional standing waves on the surface of a square or circular plate.

If we had seen and understood the early formation that begins with the understanding that all human beings are cross-wired before they modulate their existence within the framework of the reality. As given then, one must assume such modulation is a frequency for the idea for such matters?

Now before I begin here I want t share some understanding of the chaldni plates, had one ever come across them, as to imply that such resonances are activators for the current patterns inherent in the structure that one might see as demonstrated by bow, string and metal plate.

Herein too, I also supply the idea that there is "the agent," an affective idea that materialized from one of my journeys, as to a time where effective polymerization "could have have been used" to set associative responses in the architecture of buildings. These were to correlate in the idea of this "harmonization structure" as seen as in BB's choice entrainment, as brain wave matter states.

While considering transmission towers, the idea of energy being used to power has it's basis in the use of antenna to help boost the signal.

While this application is separate from the idea and use of electrical transmission, it is of consequence that such companies in the use of their "fractal antennas" have specific frequencies with which they operate? Customers that are satisfied according to the plans you use.

If there was a consideration of the White Space that was free for our use in the television broadcasting system, why was it not mandated that the public remain as a top priority in the access to information as a free and viable enhancement to our knowledge base?

Access to books in the electric medium, as one would walk to the local library? Google, it was a good plan.

Now in order to get to our local library, transportation has been divvied up, even to the ether as a viable means of charging for such transport. It should have been a given that such pathways are and must remain a viable source of knowledge enhancement for the public and it's rise above the current constrictions that society has been contained too, by rulings of the international body on the internet?

Lubos, this is also for you just so you know where I am coming from. It is really not that scary once you've figured it out. You don't have to be a communist as to figure that what you can do as a scientist for the public is as if taken the oath as a medical doctor to do all you can do for your patient/individual in society. This is but to help bring society into the state of awareness that knowledge could lift any of us out of our ignorance.

The Pythagoreans 2500 years ago believed in a celestial "music of the
spheres", an idea that reverberated down the millennia in Western music,
literature, art and science. Now, through asteroseismology (the study
of the internal structure of pulsating stars), we know that there is a
real music of the spheres. The stars have sounds in them that we use to
see right to their very cores. This multi-media lecture looks at the
relationship of music to stellar sounds. You will hear the real sounds
of the stars and you will hear musical compositions where every member
of the orchestra is a real (astronomical) star! You will also learn
about some of the latest discoveries from the Kepler Space Mission that
lets us "hear" the stars 100 times better than with telescopes on the
ground See:Don Kurtz, University of Central Lancashire-Wednesday, May 2, 2012 at 7:00 pm

Vibration underpins all matter in the universe. No matter can exist without sound and vibration. To see the periodic motions that lie at the heart of matter is to lift the veils that conceal many mysteries of the universe. The CymaScope represents the first scientific instrument that can give us a visual image of sound and vibration - a cymatic image - helping us to understand our world and universe in ways previously hidden from view.

When the microscope and telescope were invented they opened vistas on realms that were not even suspected to exist. Cymascope

The sand collected in nodal lines producing symmetrical patterns similar to Hookes flour on the glass plate. It is also important to note that this influenced Faraday in thinking about lines of force in magnetic in his electrical experiments.

Born in Wittenburg in Germany, Chladni's Father demanded that he study Law not science. He obtained his law degree in 1782 from Leipzig. After the death of his Farther he vigorously pursued his career in science. Chladni achieved recognition for his pioneering work in the mathematical analysis of acoustics. This research was built on the early experiments of Robert Hooke at Oxford University. On July 8th 1680 Hooke formed the experiment of glass vibrating 6.4.8. places. This was done by putting flour on a glass plate, and bowing on the edge of glass. Hooke had observed that the motion of the glass was vibrate perpendicular to the surface of the glass, and that the circular figure of the flour changed into an oval one way, and the reciprocation of it changed it into an oval the other way. This phenomenon was rediscovered by Chladni in the eighteenth century, and given his name "Chladni figures". What Chladni did was to take thin metal plates and cover them with sand and caused them to vibrate. The sand collected in nodal lines producing symmetrical patterns similar to Hookes flour on the glass plate. It is also important to note that this influenced Faraday in thinking about lines of force in magnetic in his electrical experiments.

I think one has to wonder with such diversities of souls who have entered this world, such distinctions of being identified as a "emergent product of all souls" might have a distinctive element with which lives could have been choreographed. Each soul, manifests according to their Heart Song? :)Each Heart Song is carried through a series of many lives? Each Heart Song,manifests according the conceptual acceptances and digestibility of our grokking, according to each circumstance that surrounds that life?

I just finish spending the last 8 days with two of my seven grandchildren. One had passed just a couple of days after being born.

Yes "Happy feet" has become a intricate part of my days visiting as these children are mesmerized by the hearts songs and uniqueness of being borne learning to tap instead of singing. It's trials and tribulations of being different. See:It's a Penquin?

Biology sees no possible reduction to the physics of thinking, that I have to wonder if they might of thought of the correlation here, as distinctive elements have distinctive sounds?

It's an anologistical way of looking at the space of thinking(mind /body) to have it coincide with somethng inherent in our make up. Some thing that is correlative to what strides the thinking mind makes and what resonances in the world are set up for each soul distinctive? Each soul's cause and effect, bringing home to roost the conceptually formed resonances that have been formed " by grokking and digestibility.

For example, in 1704 Sir Isaac Newton struggled to devise mathematical formulas to equate the vibrational frequency of sound waves with a corresponding wavelength of light. He failed to find his hoped-for translation algorithm, but the idea of correspondence took root, and the first practical application of it appears to be the clavecin oculaire, an instrument that played sound and light simultaneously. It was invented in 1725. Charles Darwin’s grandfather, Erasmus, achieved the same effect with a harpsichord and lanterns in 1790, although many others were built in the intervening years, on the same principle, where by a keyboard controlled mechanical shutters from behind which colored lights shne. By 1810 even Goethe was expounding correspondences between color and other senses in his book, Theory of Color.Pg 53, The Man Who Tasted Shapes, by Richard E. Cytowic, M.D.

So to then in my thinking that before each soul crystallizes it's hold on the reality of being in this world, that each soul was in a much different state. A state that the senses held no distinctions other then too, sense "all things" as connected to each other. The differentiations were our attempts to acceptance of living within this world that it should have it;s compartments for sensory outputs distinctive themselves. See:Soul Food

Cymatics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Resonance made visible with black seeds on a harpsichord sounboard

Amplified sine wave's effects on cornstarch & water solution

Cymatics (from Greek: κῦμα "wave") is the study of visible sound and vibration, a subset of modal phenomena. Typically the surface of a plate, diaphragm, or membrane is vibrated, and regions of maximum and minimum displacement are made visible in a thin coating of particles, paste, or liquid.[1] Different patterns emerge in the exitatory medium depending on the geometry of the plate and the driving frequency.
The apparatus employed can be simple, such as a Chladni Plate[2] or advanced such as the CymaScope, a laboratory instrument that makes visible the inherent geometries within sound and music.[clarification needed]

Contents

Etymology

The generic term for this field of science is the study of modal phenomena, retitled Cymatics by Hans Jenny, a Swiss medical doctor and a pioneer in this field. The word Cymatics derives from the Greek 'kuma' meaning 'billow' or 'wave,' to describe the periodic effects that sound and vibration has on matter.

As I was scraping a brass plate with a sharp iron chisel in order to remove some spots from it and was running the chisel rather rapidly over it, I once or twice, during many strokes, heard the plate emit a rather strong and clear whistling sound: on looking at the plate more carefully, I noticed a long row of fine streaks parallel and equidistant from one another. Scraping with the chisel over and over again, I noticed that it was only when the plate emitted this hissing noise that any marks were left upon it; when the scraping was not accompanied by this sibilant note there was not the least trace of such marks.[3]

On July 8, 1680, Robert Hooke was able to see the nodal patterns associated with the modes of vibration of glass plates. Hooke ran a bow along the edge of a glass plate covered with flour, and saw the nodal patterns emerge.[4][5]

In 1787, Ernst Chladni repeated the work of Robert Hooke and published "Entdeckungen über die Theorie des Klanges" ("Discoveries in the Theory of Sound"). In this book, Chladni describes the patterns seen by placing sand on metal plates which are made to vibrate by stroking the edge of the plate with a bow.
Cymatics was explored by Hans Jenny in his 1967 book, Kymatik (translated Cymatics).[6] Inspired by systems theory and the work of Ernst Chladni, Jenny began an investigation of periodic phenomena but especially the visual display of sound. He used standing waves, piezoelectricamplifiers, and other methods and materials.

Rosslyn Chapel's carvings are thought to contain references to Cymatics patterns and in 2005 composer Stuart Mitchell and his father T.J.Mitchell created a work realised by the use of matching Cymatics/Chladni patterns to the 13 geometric symbols carved onto the faces of 213 cubes emanating from 14 arches. They have named the completed work The Rosslyn Motet and has received a great deal of media publicity and acclaim from scientific and musicological sources.
